Awards
Groups & Lines earned over $25K in Best Buy Gift Cards for teachers and Studio Directors. Additionally, every dancer received an Individual Award. Rhythm believes in giving back!
Each class, Novice, Performance, Advanced and Student Choreography compete for overall awards within their own class.
NEW!!! Every dancer receives a lanyard with a Rhythm Dance medal attached. Those who place in the top 4 in the Advanced category will receive a pin to attach to their lanyard to acknowledge their placing. Novice and Performance (A DANCER WHO TRAINS 6 HOURS OR LESS /WEEK) dancers will also receive a lanyard with a Rhythm Dance medal and 3 star, 4 star and 5 star pins (depending on the score awarded by the judges) to place on their lanyard. When there are more than 4 dances in a Performance or Novice category, we will announce 1st – 4th. The dancers will go home with 1 lanyard and medal with pins attached signifying their showing at Rhythm that weekend.
Rhythm Dance presents Best Buy Gift Cards valued at $15 for 1st place, $10 for 2nd and $5 for 3rd and 4th place for lines and $10 for 1st, $5 for 2nd to 4th for large groups and groups. This is a greater financial return to the studio director and choreographers rather than trophies or plaques.
Special Awards are done at each awards session (6 times daily) along with a Judges Choice Award of $20 and Choreography Award for that session.
